House painting is more than cosmetic, primer and paint protects siding in particular from damage…read more I have older siding, some of which was replaced due to water damage, I wanted to protect what was remaining. The Gonzalez contract stated scraping of old paint is included, but the team refused to scrape paint off my siding saying they don't do that. I brought it up with the foreman multiple times. Well, most of the exterior of my house is siding, so I would never have signed the contract if that was stated at the outset. See the attached photo for how they just spray paint over peeling paint. I called the owner and left a message but there was no return call. I won't get into other issues, but for this reason alone, I am giving 1 star.

Ian Williams is my brother, so I'm obviously biased, but his handyman work and contracting work is…read moresuperb! He gave my husband and me the gift of the installation of a custom fold-down cutting board where a rickety fold-down ironing board used to be. This, of course, was totally his idea because he's creative like that. The cutting board is beautiful, solid, and functional, adding 30% more surface area to our kitchen. It's far superior to the ironing board that was there previously. He used top notch parts, sourced from specialty cabinet makers, to construct it. Ian was also timely and cleaned up after himself. I would feel confident hiring Ian for bigger projects, as I have seen him helping his former employer (my Dad) build bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and more. Sure, I may be his sister, but I'm his older sister and thus prone to harsh judgement... so you know you can trust my review, and Ian with all of your handyman needs.

Ian completed a bathroom remodel in our 1940s town house. Before Ian came to our aid, the bathroom…read morewas a nightmare--kelly green tile, broken prefab shower, water damage, and crumbling studs. Ian reframed our space and created a luxurious corner shower complete with an inset shelf for shampoo. His tiling job was excellent! He also thought to create a handy door to a water shut off that will be a huge help if we have issues in the future! Despite having a full bath steps from our bedroom, my husband and I both shower in the basement now, enjoying our spa-like retreat from Hilltop Renovations! Ian was a considerate worker while in our home. He took care of our living spaces by laying drop cloths and covering furniture to minimize drywall dust. He was super pleasant and personable--the dog missed him when our job was done. We highly recommend Ian for your next project. Margot and Nathan D.

While the addition work was being done, I noticed the floors beginning to slope downward in two rooms of the house. I pointed this out to Ashley Hayes, but he denied there was any change. Now the floors of those two rooms, as well as two closer to the addition, are slanted even more. Also, the stairs have begun to pull away from the wall (see photos) so that there is now a visible gap between the risers and the molding. The stairs and floors now squeak and give when walking on them.

This is particularly true at the back desk, where the two women I have encountered there seemed like I was asking them a huge favor to leave their chair and help me locate something. They are surprisingly unfriendly for a local business in a small town. The cashiers are also unfriendly. They are all milling around the desk, but no one chats with you or shows any interest. I can't tell what the problem is, as it seems like a perfectly nice place to work, but everyone acts like they hate their job.

Peter is extremely organized, has an eye for detail, is thorough, considerate, and professional. I also liked the builder software he uses to keep track of all correspondence, files an photos.
